Union-Built Comfort

The same family name on the truck since 1984

Degenhardt Heating and Cooling has been a fixture in South St. Louis since 1984. Today it's owned and run by Adam & Ryan Cella and TJ & Courtney Degenhardt — the second generation of the family on the trucks. When you call, you reach the people whose name is on the door, not a call center for a private-equity rollup that bought the brand.

Our crews are trained through Local 36 of the Sheet Metal Workers' union — the gold standard for fabrication and HVAC craftsmanship. That means precision-built ductwork, factory-correct Daikin installations, and work that's south st. louis hvac, built to last..

Answers before you call

Straight answers about service areas, the brands we install, our credentials, and estimates — from a real South St. Louis HVAC company, not a call center.

What areas do you serve?

Degenhardt Heating and Cooling serves Saint Louis, MO and surrounding communities including Affton, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Chesterfield, Ballwin, Fenton, and many more. If you are unsure whether we cover your address, call us and we will confirm.

Which heating and cooling brands do you install?

We are a Daikin Comfort Pro Authorized Dealer—we install and service Daikin systems, including the high-efficiency, inverter-driven Daikin FIT. We'll recommend the right Daikin system for your home, comfort goals, and budget rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all box.

Are your technicians NATE certified and union trained?

Yes. Many of our technicians hold NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification, and our team is union-trained through Sheet Metal Workers' Local 36. That means work is performed to professional craftsmanship, safety, and code standards.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation estimates on installations and replacements. Tell us about your home and what you need, and we'll set up a visit and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.
